Q: Is it legal to sell items like old paint or insect killer spray, which may contain toxic compounds, at a garage sale?
A:
It's difficult to say where you'd find information on that. If you have labels or material safety data sheets, they could provide information on disposal, but not sales. In terms of sales, it would be be advisable to check if they contain constituents that ban them from sales or usage. You could check with the resources of the US EPA, NYS DEC, and regional environmental/public safety agencies. Good luck

A:
Addendum - The NYS DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) administers licensing for pesticide applicators, so they might be able to offer information on the insect-related products. Good luck
